send an email to Seun and he will help.

good luck!

I think you would want that in reverse. In any case, you may have to do an apache re-write. Though I have never done it before, I have read it up and it seems pretty straightforward. google for it.

good luck!

Begin with that post and go forward and you will find your answer.

good luck!

Is this a good way to seek help? I will let you be the judge

you will need to read up on adding streaming video to a website. google or wiki it.

good luck!

It is not visible here so we can't say

Do you define your charset in your HEAD tags (I use ISO-88 whatever and it pulls up pretty much every special character known to man)?

Maybe you should change the quoted word in bold. I know a few people who are turned off of websites with grammatical/typographical errors

Good luck!

1) It's a good idea. Even if there are 100 out there, making yours unique will be even better

2) Just because google didn't turn up anything doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
a) Did you look at every single search result?
b) Could it be that the "webmasters" of such sites suck at SEO?
c) With over 100million websites out there, I would be careful about your assumption.
c.i) Given #b above, maybe this is an area you can improve upon

3) Just because you don't know such a person doesn't mean they don't exist. You just don't know them, that's all.

1) I can't say anything o. I myself can be, and have been, banned
2) If you had said what I said, banning you would have been a crime. Nothing wrong with what I said. I guess I, as you said, am used to saying what others have in mind but for whatever reason, aren't comfortable (or maybe downright scared) saying it, the fact that this is a (faceless) forum notwithstanding

There are over 6billion ppl on this planet. That means that there is a potential of 5.99billion ppl thinking the same thing you are thinking. Also, have you googled recently for this? I bet there are tons of such sites out there already.

Maybe you need to steal from them

Teir forums have this fresh look that makes you want to post a message.

Yet somehow, you have also posted on a smf forum, an older version at that

kok:

Weeeell, this isn't a good idea. As much as IE6 sucks, you still want ppl with it to have some sort of experience, especially if it is an ecommerce site. If one must use your approach, I would rather maybe you have a popup, modal window or whatever that gives the warning as opposed to presenting a blank screen.

If not already, read up on progressive enhancement and graceful degradation.

In a country where pretty much everything is based on emotions and open-eye as opposed to statistics and facts, dis one go tough small o

Based on your code above, most likely. I see the php on the same form page. I like to separate my form from my "processing page (in your case, confirmation.php)" so try moving your php code into the confirmation page and let us know how it goes.

Don't get depressed just yet. Remember, you aren't alone in this battle. Others have tried and prevailed. Don't be the odd ball

I am afraid you can not run away from it cos its the default browser for our cafe guys who want to maximize profit and minimize expenses by putting up what i call mono-chrome computers for people to browsing with.

I respectfully disagree: It doesn't cost any money to upgrade to IE7.  Moreover, though generally speaking, we Nigerians like to suffer, at some point, ppl will start turning away from cafes with older browsers/get our own PCs and laptops thus leaving such cafes in the cold.  It is only a matter of time.  At that point, they either adapt to change or die a slow and painful death.

This is actual a test of how good you a developer or designer you are, the ability to port your design to all the major browsers both grade A and older browsers.

I respectfully disagree again.  A test of how good you are isn't in how much hair you pull out of your head so as to beat your chest saying you can code to 10 different browsers but on how you architect your sites such that a majority of users can get the best user experience while affording the minority a minimal but optimal experience (graceful degradation).  Based on your argument, then you should be coding for IE5 and below.  You might want to visit and bookmark http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/gbs/ for the future.  Having said that, if your clients insist, then within reason, you have no choice. 

Remember, you have to weigh time vs cost.  In other words, if you are paid say N60K for a site and you spend say, 30 hours on it, that means you made N2000/hour.  Now, if cos of IE6 you spend an additional say, 10 hours, that means you are earning N1500/hr.  Eventually, if you spend too much time, even if you earned N1million, the time vs cost (net profit) will no longer work in your favor.

I build with the Fox browser and when i am done with the entire design i port to wired IE6 and IE7, cos both Fox and IE8 renders almost the same. My method is to create stylesheets from the master stylesheet,stripeout what is common in both and only tweak those elements that are having problem rendering well in IE6 and IE7

I think this is a bad way to approach coding.  What you should do is practice incremental coding.  So for example, you code the header portion, you check all browsers you are working with, you code the navigation, do same thing, etc.  Why? Cos this way, you know where a problem is coming from upfront.  This is as opposed to coding everything then scratching your head trying to narrow down the problem.  Your way is more prone, IMHO to adding unnecessary hacks all of which combine to make code harder to read and harder to maintain.  Give incremental coding a try.  You won't be sorry you did

The browser war is a cold war that we developers can not avoid.

I totally agree.  While the backend guys just have to deal with business logic, we bear the brunt in the web wars by dealing with multiple browsers 

Maybe because i fall around that age bracket.

Fair enough though I think it could have been worded a bit differently. The way it is now wreaks of age discrimination and implies, at least to me, that ppl outside of that age group don't know anything.

oh well, what do I know. good luck!

Interested person(s) must be between 23 to 28 years of age

Any particular reason for this (not that it matters to me)?

eally not my intention pls. . . . am just a plain, dumb Bleep with dis php thingy.

Come on! Assuming this isn't a joke, don't say that. Everyone has to start from somewhere. I was where you are 4 yrs ago and guess what? There are things that I still don't know

The important thing is that you finally get it, you make sure it sticks, while constantly learning new things. This way, you always have marketable skills.

Good luck!

Yes there is more to it.  For example, among others, there is:
UPDATE, INSERT, WHERE, CASCADE, DELETE and DESC.

Where did you go to school if I might add?  If all they taught you is the above, not to defend them but chances are that they figured those are probably the most common keywords used and they expect you as the student to be on a constant journey of learning which means you should know the rest. This could be true especially if you are taking the beginner course. In other words, consider taking a more advanced course.

Good luck!

jabbok,

No google results for a tutorial on how to use it? If you say "no", I would find it hard to believe.

Give google a try.

he he, you aren't wearing me out. If you were, I wouldn't even respond

The directory in the "browse" textfield is a "dummy" directory. The only thing that is "extracted" from that textfield is the last item - whatever it is that you are uploading. The PHP script then creates a directory and adds what you are downloading to that directory. The directory in the "browse" textfield is just for the script to know where to go to copy the image.

e nu go?

no yawa.

By the way, You will have to use $_GET on the friends.php page, since you are getting the values passed via url. There's no escaping that. It doesn't apply to only forms. Also, personally, I prefer $_REQUEST, which covers both POST and GET, to using either-or.

good luck!

<a href="friends.php?surname=<?php echo $surname;?>"><?php echo $name;?></a>

Also, u might wanna get rid of the spaces between the words in those variables. You could either replace the spaces with hyphens or underscores or assign each word to a separate variable, attach them to the hyperlink like so:

<a href="friends.php?surname1=<?php echo $surname1;?>&surname2=<?php echo $surname2;?>">
<?php echo $name;?>
</a>

then on the friends.php page, you concatenate the variables. Good luck!

nothing came up.

No offense but should I deduce your character from the last 3 letters of your NL handle?

monk:

Nice site. Henceforth, I will make this site required reading for clients, regardless of whether or not they want me to code for IE6

bug24:

I have been sharing the same sentiments as you, regarding the board slowly dying. 

Personally, I would rather have a boring board but we learn something than going back and forth over reviews but hey, I guess this is like TV where you have to appeal to your audience and the audience demands reviews.

Don't worry, more of such posts to come 

For once, someone not accusing me of bad belleism. Thanks mrPerfect

The problem is filePic - you are not capturing it in your script. If you are, then I missed it.

Again, you need to write the code that creates the directory where the images will be stored. This you will do by getting the value of filePic, creating a directory and then storing filePic's value (the uploaded image) into that directory.

Make sense?

Re: Search Module for http://www.independentngonline.com/

Your search module is not working.  Please do the following:

1) Disable it
2) Fix the problem then turn it back on.

It has been down for at least 3 weeks. It is very annoying each time I use it.  I get this stack trace each time (snippet follows):

Thanks 

I use hostmonster as well and they have exceptional customer service, which is why I have stuck with them since 2005. My only "problem" with them is that if you create a domain for a client (and this maybe because my account is "old" or maybe it's my package), and I know this cos I have asked as recently as less than a month ago, that client will not have their own cPanel. At best, they will have FTP access to the folder you create for them. In other words, if for example, they wanted to install joomla on their account, they would still have to go through you.

To this effect, if I as much as suspect that a client could pose a problem, I will recommend that they get their own full-fledged (hostmonster ) account as opposed to them staying under my plan.
